Instrucciones para despertar a una silla dormida
By Pablo Prestifilippo
About this book
After “Handbook for wild socks”, in which Pablo Prestifilippo lets his wild imagination run free, taking the readers with him to imagine that that an apparently boring clothing item had a life of its own, his new book goes back to the roots, uses and even psychology of another element in our daily life: a chair.
Thus, the book becomes a scientific report in which he goes back to the prehistoric roots of this pseudo giraffe and tree, he identifies the parts of its anatomy and encourages the users to “wake up” some of its parts. It is a thrilling adventure in which the alter ego of the writer, Professor Roxelio Troncoso, has a hands-on experience with some surprises.
In his distinctive and humorous style, Prestifilippo presents readers with a perfectly didactic guide to chairs, highlighting the advantages of sharing our lives with a pet we can talk to, play with and even exercise. A nonsense story verging on the surreal, with an amusing chaos of ideas and colours.
